Not with 100 TB of data. It kind-of-works with 1 TB. Can anybody comment on the feasibility of rsync on 1 million files? Maybe DRBD would be a solution. If you can retrofit DRDB to an existing setup... If not it's faster to move the drives physically - believe me, this will create far less problems. In a SAN, you would have the possibility of synching the data outside of the filesystem, during normal operations. 100 TB is a lot of data. How do you back that up, BTW? What is your estimated time to restore it from the medium you back it up to? cheers, Rainer -- Rainer Duffner CISSP, LPI, MCSE rainer at ultra-secure.de
